Khamenei – Meir Javedanfar http://middleeastanalyst.com Analysis of the Middle East with special focus on Iran Thu, 07 Apr 2016 07:13:57 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.3 Ahmadinejad’s return may be boost for Rouhani http://middleeastanalyst.com/2014/04/21/ahmadinejads-return-may-be-boost-for-rouhani/ Mon, 21 Apr 2014 08:41:12 +0000 http://middleeastanalyst.com/?p=522 Rouhani is the anti-Ahmadinejad and vice versa.

Their supporters view the other side with deep suspicion and animosity.

Read below to find out why it could make sense.

But Iran has been totally excluded from the talks. One has to ask why.

My latest article answers this question.

He should be relieved of this opportunity by ensuring that sanctions don’t deprive the Iranian people of food and medicine. Supplying medical isotopes to Iranian patients would therefore be another blow against the regime and its efforts to demonize the West.

Still, the threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz could come back to haunt Iran’s leaders.
